1. Don't hate Glenn.

He is really hurting inside.

Although education on some issues, if you disagree seems to be a good idea.

2. He will stay an idol to his "people"
Watch out for clips from past rally (FOX will show clips from super large crowds even if only a few thousand show up):evilgrin:

3. He will keep the ironclad idiots and maybe lose some of the

marginally stupid, but I don't think he will make a lot of new converts...He will stay about the same.

But he will have a wonderful time, which is what it is all about.

15. Don't forget
He will also sell a lot of books, and it's the almighty dollar that he respects the most!

4. I think his fans will love it.
He's going to really get the closet racists out in the open.

6. Oh, I thought you said "will he hurt himself AT

7. Only if he lets Ken Mehlman perform anal on him on stage while giving his hate speech
even then it will probably be spun that it wasn't gay sex folks saw with their own eyes, Fox will say it was a liberal media editing job like the one used to destroy ACORN.

8. Over exposure usually does hurt the demigods
Palin is falling and he will too...Their groups are hero worshipers and have short attention spans...these are the types that love you one minute and hate you the next...they'll move on...he'll disappoint - they always do.

9. I don't know, but I do believe he's due for a major melt down soon
I think the guy is completely nuts. Right now he believes god talks to him and it's only a matter of time before he starts to think he IS god. His psycho chalk board connections and his paranoid belief that people are out to kill him seem to be signs that this egg is about to crack.

When the melt down does happen, I'll be the first to blame everyone around him who, instead of taking care of him, are enabling him and handing him the platform to go bat shit crazy on camera for the sake of entertainment. I use to think he was just a ridiculous blow hard, but now I look at him and mental illness is the only conclusion that makes sense to me.

11. I'm convinced
I'm convinced that Glenn Beck is going to end up pulling a Bud Dwyer in the end.

He really seems to be heading that way with his insanity.

Ultimately, YES.
